Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid. What makes Alternate Ending different from other film podcasts? Well, we're not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We're two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we're being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good. Too many film sites cater to

  Ingmar Bergman's Trilogy

  Aug 11, 20261h 53m

  For our second episode of August 2026, Tim and Brian have found themselves all along in the recording studio, and with nobody else to stop them, they inevitably made a beeline for the filmography of Ingmar Bergman. Specifically, they're talking about the thee films the great director made between 1961 and 1963: Through a Glass Darkly , Winter Light , and The Silence . Alternate Ending's two resident Bergman nuts go long on the status of the three films as a contested trilogy, and their status in the director's filmography. Before the main event, Tim adds to our developing conversation from two weeks ago on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey , while Brian checks in with the record-setting box office behemoth Spider-Man: Brand New Day . Tim also catches up with the 1987 French sci-fi animation Gandahar , thanks to Patreon supporter and regular podcast guest Andrew Milne.

  Your Movie Rocks: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

  Aug 4, 202654 min

  Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. August marks the 16th anniversary of the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , which isn't actually the reason that Gavin - appearing for the third time on Your Movie Rocks! - selected it. Rather, it's because he wanted to give Mandy a movie she was undoubtedly going to love for the third time in a row, following Agora and Lawrence of Arabia . Something like that, anyway. Together, Mandy and Gavin discuss the turbulent career of director Edgar Wright, the evolving careers of the jam-packed cast of the film, and the narrative logic of video games, as well as finding out if Mandy shares Gavin's enthusiasm for this generational nerd touchstone.

  Your Movie Rocks: Imaginaerum

  Jul 7, 20261h 1m

  Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. This month, we welcome back our first three-time player Andrew Milne, who has once again selected a movie that neither Mandy nor most of our listeners ever would have sought out on their own: Imaginaerum , an 85-minute music video for Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Come along on a wild CGI roller coaster ride as Mandy and Andrew gamely try to pronounce "Imaginaerum," gamely avoid pronouncing most other Finnish names, and get into deep subjects like death, aging, memory, and scary snowmen. Also, we have a digression on sexy blood-red dresses.
